Description

I am a senior journalist and analyst with 25 years of experience covering the intersection of applied science and enterprise technology. I hold a BSc (Hons) in Chemistry from the University of London, which provides the foundational scientific rigour for my work. My career has seen me serve as a Senior Research Analyst at Gartner and IDC, and as a contributor to the Financial Times, IT Pro, and Computer Weekly.

I specialize in taking incredibly dense, complex technical subjects, such as the mechanics of Large Language Models, the physics of Computer Vision, or the data-processing challenges of the James Webb Telescope, and translating them into engaging, accurate narratives for a broad audience. I am accustomed to interviewing high-level SMEs, from hardware architects to research scientists, to find the 'human' story within the data.
